Do Journalists Usually Graduate From High School?

The reason The Baron asks is because it seems to him as if most people who write for the paper have a lot of trouble with reading comprehension and even more trouble putting together a grammatically correct sentence.

For example, this sentence is from today's Metro, a free news paper The Baron knows, but it's not like the big boys are immune:

Districts prep against virus, but make plans for its inevitable return.

This sentence doesn't make any fucking sense. Generally when you separate two parts of a sentence with "but", the first half opposes the second half such. For example, this is what The Baron is sure they were trying to say:

District prepares countermeasures to virus, but concedes new infections are inevitable.

Instead they indicated the following:

District makes plans for return of virus, but makes plans for return of virus.

What the fuck is wrong with these assmasters, do they even read what they've written or do they just roll with it and print in real time, as they're typing?

And another thing, what the shit is all this hysteria about swine flu? The damn thing has killed about 1000 people world wide, including in places where health care consists of rubbing a salve of tiger semen on wounds. You know how many people the real flu kills per year in the US alone? 36,000. So is it safe to say that the real flu is at least 36 times worse than the cocksucking pig flu? Yes, yes it is. That's why you won't see The Baron lining up to get two injections of an H1N1 vaccine with a take rate of 30% and that won't be effective until November even if it does work.

But you don't have to take The Baron's word for it, da duh da!
